Legislative budget analyst Paul Headlee is now briefing JFAC on the impact of the economic stimulus bill on transportation funding for Idaho. The state stands to receive $181.9 million for highway infrastructure investment, plus $18.4 million for transit capital assistance. There are some requirements for how the $181.9 million is to be spent; one is that priority go to “economically distressed” areas. “It’s my understanding that nearly all of Idaho fits in the definition of ‘economically distressed’ with the exception of the Ketchum-Sun Valley area,” Headlee told the committee, prompting some chuckles and glances at Rep. Wendy Jaquet, D-Ketchum, who represents that particular area.
